Trae Young’s 2021 first-round playoff series win over the New York Knicks<\/a> carries less significance these days after the Knicks just became NBA champions. Someone who hasn’t made it past the first round since that series doesn’t move the needle much anymore.<\/p>\n

But if Knicks fans needed any extra help getting past their disdain for Young, the former Atlanta Hawks guard is doing his part to help<\/a>. Making an appearance at Fanatics Fest over the weekend, Young brought out a Jalen Brunson jersey that he intended to rip in front of the crowd of fans.<\/p>\n

However, that struggling attempt failed, leaving Young to simply toss the still-intact jersey away. It was a tough scene.<\/p>\n

Young’s jersey snafu came after he posted a video on Instagram<\/a> of himself riding around New York watching the replay of his 2021 win over the Knicks.<\/p>\n

On X, Young said<\/a> “I just be trolling sometimes,” and that he’s “happy for some of my boys over there.”<\/p>\n

Now a member of the Washington Wizards, it’s probably time Young stop trolling the Knicks and focus on making some new memories for fans to remember him by.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Updated July 19, 2026, 11:26 a.m. ET Trae Young’s 2021 first-round playoff series win over the New York…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":772345,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[182817,355,309201,99,190536,190537,185888,184134,184136,184925,190538,305958,183265,324822,184131,184128,182820],"class_list":["post-772344","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-accessfree","tag-nba","tag-sourcefor-the-win","tag-sports","tag-sstssportsnba","tag-sstsnnba","tag-tagbasketball","tag-tagcelebrities-entertainment-news","tag-taglocal-affiliate-arts-entertainment","tag-tagnational-sports","tag-tagnba","tag-tagnew-york-knicks","tag-tagoverall-negative","tag-tagsports-fan-gear-apparel","tag-tagsports-memorabilia","tag-tagsports-news","tag-typestory"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/772344","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=772344"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/772344\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/772345"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=772344"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=772344"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=772344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
